Reno Omokri has disclosed the true motive behind the imprisonment of Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, who is a crossdresser.
Omokri stated that Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in jail by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos for naira mutilation, but believes it is more than that.
Omokri claimed that the Nigerian government used these charges as a cover-up to crack down on the cross-dressing phenomenon.
He further explained that the government desired to suppress the growing trend of cross-dressing in the country. However, they were cautious of the potential backlash from Western powers if they directly targeted this culture.
In a recent post on his social media platform, Omokri expressed his views on the matter.
“What happened with Bobrisky just shows you the savviness of Nigeria compared to other nations and the intellectual response to governing on display by the current administration.“The Nigerian government obviously wanted to clamp down on the trending cross-dressing culture in Nigeria. But the government was also aware of the fact that any direct move in that regard would earn it the whip of the Western powers.“The Tinubu administration was in a dilemma. How to deal with Bobrisky for being a cross-dresser but not to make it about his being a cross-dresser.And this is where you have to respect the subtlety of the Tinubu administration. They found a creative genius way.“Bobrisky violated a law against the abuse of the Naira. That is why a first-time offender committed an offence that even government officials engaged in during Buhari’s son’s wedding, and, despite pleading guilty, was sentenced to six months in prison.“In fact, there is more video evidence of Naira abuse via spraying at the wedding of no less a person than Abdul Aziz Malami, the son of Abubakar Malami, SAN, Nigeria’s Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice.“And the scapegoating of Bobrisky has worked. Since his arrest, have you seen any of his ‘colleagues’ prancing about?“We used to see them almost daily on blogs and social media. The traditional media, too, could not have enough of them. They got the memo.They have run for cover since the Chairwoman answered to the gender of male in court when asked to state ‘her’ gender.”
Verydarkman has again attacked Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian cross-dresser who is still in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Verydarkman mocked Bobrisky for claiming that he has connections to people in power.
On his Instagram page, Verydarkman indirectly targeted individuals who brag about their connections in specific areas but lack influence in the capital.
Although Bobrisky was not directly mentioned, it was clear that he was the intended recipient of the activist’s remarks.
Verydarkman has been closely scrutinizing Bobrisky since his arrest, suggesting that he has inside information about Bobrisky’s connections.
The activist stressed the significance of abiding by the law even when utilizing one’s connections, warning that wealth does not always equate to having influential connections.
This statement appeared to be directed at Bobrisky, who frequently showcases his wealth on social media platforms.
He wrote:
“The truth be say if you get connection for state make sure say you get for capital, and also for your connection to work make sure you respect the law, not against the law, lastly having money doesn’t equal having connections.”
